Review Request Policy

Hi everyone. REVIEW REQUESTS ARE PAUSED. I had a huge number of requests in the last three days and cannot take on anymore books right now. My schedule is booked up until late April.

Review Procedures:

Step One: Send an email titled “Review Request” to bonniereadsandwrites@gmail.com. If you do not put Review Request in the Subject title, I will not see it, as those emails are filtered to a Review Request file. I am no longer looking at books that do not follow this guideline.

Step Two: Include a link to your book on Amazon, Kobo, Barnes and Noble, or wherever it is being sold. Once I’ve looked at it, I’ll ask for a copy if I am interested in seeing more. See below.

  1. If it’s available through Kindle Unlimited, I’m a subscriber and I’ll pick it up myself.
  2. If it’s available on BookSirens, BookFunnel, or Netgalley, send me a link and I’ll pick it up.
  3. I will also accept PDFs or Epubs only. No Word docs.

Step Three: Once I’ve let you know I will review the book, your book will be put on my schedule. Right now my first available is in March.

Step Four: Once I put the review up, I will let you know. If you like the review, I would ask that you please share my blog post on Facebook, Instagram, WordPress, or anywhere else that you have social media followers. A comment on my blog post is also appreciated. This is not mandatory and I never ask for payment or compensation. However, I would especially appreciate likes, comments, and follows on my blog (not required).

GENRES I AM NOT ACCEPTING

If you send me requests for genres I am not accepting, I won’t be able to respond.

Horror (That does not include Magical Realism, which I am accepting)
Dark Fantasy (I still accept Fantasy, especially if it has dragons) I just don’t want to read anything too dark or bloody.
Current Politics
Spicy Romance
Nonfiction until further notice. I may or may not accept a memoir.

OTHER SITUATIONS I AM NOT ACCEPTING

I will not accept books with graphic language or explicit sexual situations.

I will not accept books written in second person or books written in “stream of consciousness” style. I simply don’t enjoy reading them.

INDIE SPOTLIGHT

Indie Spotlight is a chance to highlight your Indie book. It can be a review, a promo, and more. This is a chance to show off your book.

MY FAVORITE GENRES

Christian Fiction
Historical Fiction and all subgenres
Science Fiction (Especially time travel)
Literary Fiction
Poetry

I am one woman doing these reviews for free. Patience is appreciated.

My reviews are voluntary and free of charge. I reserve the right to decline a review of any book at any time.

REQUEST: If you like my review of your book, please consider reading my reviews of other Indie books, and consider helping out those authors by reading and reviewing their books and/or sharing all reviews of their work.

My whole purpose for starting this site is to create a community of readers, writers, and bloggers that support each other.

Again, if your book is on Kindle Unlimited (Looks like they are calling it Kindle Plus now), let me know. I can probably pick it up myself.
